What is AEROS?AEROS is a hybrid distribution of AROS (www.aros.org) and Linux (in the moment debian 6.0 for X86 and 8.0 for ARM is used) available for ARM and x86 systems.If there is enough interest we can start also an PPC branch. The audience may decide ; )

The R3.5-ISO is an 4in1 OS. You get access to Linux, AROS x86, AROSm68k and WIndows apps out of the Box

The latest ARM Versions for Odroid XU3/4, Odroid U2/U3 and Raspberry Pi1/2/3 are only available for registered users. To get registered you need to qualify yourself with one of the following options:1. Apply to the AmiCloud Subscription (www.amicloud.de) 2. USE our sd-card service on ebay3. Donate at least 15 US € to any AROS related bounty on www.power2people.org or prove that you did already.4. Become a patron by supporting hosting and development with 1€/month

Everyone else need to wait for the release of outdated versions to the public. Visit the OLD_Versions subpage for them.

Why AEROS?AROS is a wonderful OS (an opensource reimplementation of the classic Amiga OS). This means it is fast, and not only because of the small footprint it is very fast.Many times faster than Linux with all its „lightweight“ desktops.

But why running one OS hosted on another? Doesn’t it slow down?No! AROS hosted (here in form of AROS Broadway) uses less resources than any desktop manager for linux offering the same functionality. So in fact it is faster. Especially on slow ARM systems AROS hosted will blow your mind.

What are the Benefits?

Benefits for AROS users of having Linux under the hood:- more drivers (printers, scanners, NIC, Videocards and more- you are able to run every Linux app including Wine (which enables the use of Windows (TM) apps without the need of Windows(TM))- AROS - Developers can use Linux development tools- AROS apps can utilize Linux tools to enhance there own functionalitiy.- Single AROS processes can be forced to run on a single core.

Benefits for Linux users of having AROS on top Linux- Fast desktop, maybe the fastest on LInux- Allows you to run AROS apps and games too, most of them come from Amiga and have a low footprint. You will like how fast they are.- Allows you to use JanusUAE - an integrated Amiga emulation... classic 68k Amiga apps can be used in coherency mode

PS: Don’t worry ... TUX is smiling.. so he likes it ; )

Actually you can download a PI sd-card image for ARM and an outdated x86 iso from February 2012. We will update AEROS for the public only step by stepbecause it is mainly done to have something nice for AresOne Computer systems available at www.vesalia.de and www.ares-shop.deAlso I would like to bundle an enhanced Version of AEROS including Aminux (Classic AmigaOS on top of Linux) with AmigaForever and AMC 2012.
